I have directed a feature film called "Belarusian Psycho" which tells the story of Dmitry who decides to lose his virginity, and invites three girls to celebrate his 22nd birthday in a countryhouse.
This movie was partially inspired by the story of Elliot Rodger, and won the Best Belarusian Film Award at Minsk International Film Festival.
The movie is in Russian, and the English subtitles are available via the "CC" button.
What do you think about it?

Which directors are your inspiration?
Evan King
this is pure kinography
John Peterson
My favourite directors are Joe Swanberg, Kelly Reichardt, Shunji Iwai, Noah Baumbach, Peter Watkins, Sangsoo Hong, Eric Rohmer, Kenneth Lonergan, and Lav Diaz.
The directors that inspired this movie in particular the most are Joe Swanberg, Lav Diaz, Sangsoo Hong, Ti West, and Roman Polanski.
With this comment, I do not intend to sound "clever" and "self-important", I intend to sound "informative" and "sincere".
Thank you.

Interesting fact: the son of the bass guitarist from the original lineup of the band "Pesniary" was present behind the scenes during the filming of this movie.

Carson Perez

>Sangsoo Hong This guy's work ethic blows my mind. Only downside is that his films take a year or more to reach a lot of people. Being in the industry and all have you had a chance to watch any one of his three 2017 films?
James Reed
I am not really "in the industry".
I haven't seen any of his movies past "Right Now, Wrong Then", which is his best movie by far, in my opinion.
I have seen every movie by Sangsoo Hong before "Right Now, Wrong Then".

Sup Thor.
Watched your flick a couple months ago. Decent aesthetics, but the acting left something to be desired.
Brody Taylor
Thanks, my second feature has better acting, I think.
Grayson Wood
I remember the trailer for it looked very intriguing.
What's your favorite Swanberg film? Nights and Weekends is one of my favorites but imo he's been on a downward slide ever since. Happy Christmas, Digging for Fire, Easy, and Win it All are practically non-cinema.
Leo Howard
"Nights and Weekends" is my favourite too.
I like the movies you listed too, they have characters that feel alive and independent in a post-ironic way, even if his current style is workmanlike and relaxed. I think that he's at a point of a minor creative crisis that's gonna lead to another reboot of his career (much like he was after "Alexander the Last").
"Easy" is actually pretty ambitious though. Swanberg has said that he'd like to make another 15 seasons and revisit the same characters over the years, similar to the Up series.
Joe Swanberg's last great movie was "Marriage Material".
